I am writing down what I am eating today and will post it soon. (it'll be a bit different from my normal, since we don't have much left in our kitchen, we're going away for the weekend and didn't want anything to go bad)

I am wondering if I am consuming enough calories and/or carbs to help support muscle gain. I am still working hard and lifting heavy and maybe I am still making gains, but I feel like I have not seen any new gains.

will post by tonight.

Just to let everyone know, I am scheduling an appointment with a doctor at Hopkins who is a specialist in Thoracic outlet syndrome (my ortho was concerned this is what is going on with my shoulder.) apparently it's a bitch to get diagnosed. I feel like a person on that TV show medical mystery

hahahaSorry I didn't get it up last night (that's what she said...) yesterday was hell. I spent the whole afternoon on the phone with my insurance companay, the doctor at hopkins doesn't except my insurance ao I have to pay for the appointment out of pocket. But they want me to have an ultrasound of my arteries around my brachial plexus to make sure there are no blockages from compression. So... I have to see if this will be covered by my insurance, still have more phone calls today. On top of that crap, I had a final in psych (thank god it's over!)

anywho, this isn't exactly what I ate yesterday but it's about what I eat on a regular:

http://www.naturalbodybuildingevents.com/ just posted 2010 schedule of events. It looks like the one in Philly is a possibility for me (that is if I don't end up having some crazy surgery for my shoulder before than)

I had my ultrasound at Hopkins today...good news is I don't have any life threatening blood clots in my left shoulder region. But I still have an appointment with the doc there in October, so I'm not completely out of the clear yet. At least it doesn't look too serious

I've been looking into some local shows..still undecided about entering this year or waiting until next year to start. I haven't been good with my diet (eating a bit junky,especially on my birthday, but starting to clean it up again) I've been trying to add more foods, and trying to figure out the right kinds to add. my problem is i'm always hungry!!!

I think i would do alright body wise (still hoping to gain some in my upper body-legs are coming along)..I'm more concerned with not knowing how things work (turns and stuff.) Maybe I'll just go to these shows to see what happens when, get some help and compete next year.

I've competed at all of them, so ask away if you have questions! I'm also back in the region and will competing on the circuit in 2011 ...... having to take a year off *sigh* But I could live through you for a bit! lol
